5. Urgent Tariffs for Short Deadlines

For urgent translations an urgent fee is charged, thereby increasing the price of the translation.

A total of up to eight standard pages per day are calculated for the normal rate. A standard page is defined as containing 1,500 characters including space characters. If in order to complete the translation within the deadline, the daily norm is to be increased totalling to between eight and twelve standard pages inclusively, the urgent fee increases by an additional 50%, and if the Client requests that more than twelve (12) standard pages be translated a day, the standard urgent fee increases by 100%.

In such cases, all standard pages are charged according to the urgent fee, and not only those translated standard pages exceeding the daily norm.

When determining the deadline for a translation, only working days are taken into account. A working day is considered to be any day of the week between Monday to Friday inclusively.

The daily norm for proof-reading texts amounts to twelve (12) standard pages per day. Proof-reading between twelve (12) and sixteen (16) standard pages inclusively per day is charged according to the urgent fee, while proof-reading sixteen (16) or more standard pages per day implies that the standard urgent fee increases by 100%.
